Abstract

We report one of the longest follow-up studies on biopsy-proven glomerulonephritides. Age, hypertension, and severity of chronic kidney disease at diagnosis were strong predictors of the development of end-stage-kidney-disease and death. The specific renal pathology had a profound impact upon prognosis and therefore should continue to drive efforts to find targeted therapeutic options for these glomerulonephritides.
